Thank you to both witnesses for being here. I'm going to start with Dr. Chircop.
You talked about the challenges that climate change is bringing to the Arctic, the opportunities with increased shipping, especially in your field of study, and the need to involve communities and use the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People to inform that. I'm wondering if you could clarify where we are now compared with other countries and other areas.
How do our safety standards for shipping in the Canadian Arctic stack up to safety standards elsewhere in the world, whether it's the Mediterranean or other quite different areas?
